Arabica: Small Plates, Big Connections: A Journey Through the Flavours of the Eastern Mediterranean

Arabica celebrates the vibrant flavours of the Eastern Mediterranean – whisking you on a culinary journey through the fertile valleys, mountain villages, coastal towns, and vibrant cities of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Turkey.

Starting from a modest trestle table in London’s Borough Market to a growing network of restaurants and speciality products, the Arabica brand has steadfastly championed naturally healthy food and responsibly sourced ingredients. 

Founder and author James Walters draws inspiration from his extensive travels across the Eastern Mediterranean to create a cookbook brimming with colourful meze and small plates from of one of the world’s most exciting food cultures. He shares simple cooking techniques and ingredient tips that elevate dishes from ordinary to authentic, from satisfying to sublime.
